If you're feeling like fish and chips for lunch the perfect place to head to in Hobart is down to the docks at Salamanca.

Day 162 - CRICKET

...is coming!!

It will be entering our lives in a big way real soon!

Not just the watching of games live but a certain 11 year old will be doing it 3 nights in a row as well as one afternoon a week in school!

Phew! I'm exhausted just thinking about it!

Day 159 - THE LIBRARY

Tonight we did something with the kids that both Paul and I remember doing with our own parents when we were younger. 

After Paul got home from work we headed down to the library. Actually I re-aquainted the males in our house to this wonderful place where you can borrow books, saving you from having to buy them all the time! 

Despite having a school library, Mr 11 year old was still a little baffled by this seemingly new phenomena (I took them to the library lots when they were little.....but obviously not for a while!) "You can borrow up to 15 books for 3 weeks? Really?" "Can you renew them?" "But how does a library make any money then?"

As kids Paul and I were often taken to the library in an evening where we would all stock up on several books. The difference here was that instead of heading to the local suburban library, our closest library in Hobart is actually the one in the city just 5 minutes away. It's so nice being so close to the city.

Oh and the evening was capped off with some KFC for dinner after having done all that cooking on the weekend :o)
